I moved to Marquette when I was a middle schooler. I went to high school here and when I graduated I attended Northern Michigan University, the local university in town. I have had an overall wonderful experience growing up and attending college here. My two biggest complaints would be how expensive living here is and the massive lack of diversity in the town. However, the outdoor opportunities and local activities make up for it for the most part!
Marquette is a great little city in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! It's a college town, so you'll find lots to see and do, even in the depths of winter. From hiking, swimming, mountain biking, and dog sledding to the Outhouse Races in nearby Trenary, Marquette is an outdoor-oriented city. It sits right on the shore of gorgeous Lake Superior, and there are miles of shoreline to explore- from rocky areas with cliff jumping, to pebbly beaches where one can hunt for agates, to soft sandy beaches perfect for swimming or reading a book on a blanket.
And if indoors or city life is more "your thing" that's ok too! Marquette is a very safe place, and wandering the streets even late at night poses no threat. Breweries and coffee shops abound, there's a great selection of restaurants, and all types of events happening year-round. Live music, food and beer festivals, theater, parades, art shows, a nice farmers market...there is something for everyone in Marquette, Michigan!

Marquette is a great place to live! Nestled between Lake Superior and protected forests you can't beat the scenery. There are numerous natural ares to explore, and it is a North Country Trail town. This is a town that has many of the amenities of a larger city, but still has that hometown vibe. Housing costs are inflated due to greedy landlords preying on college kids, so rent or buy in one of the surrounding towns.
